Chapter 193: Nine Soft Dragon Subduing Technique, Xiaoman's Promotion

Five hundred and fourteen years have passed in Dawu.

The Yulong Cave Mansion is still peaceful and calm, but Dawu is a year of war and intensified chaos.

After entering the fifth year, the overall situation has not improved, but has further deteriorated.

The fight between Beimo and the strange creatures has become more bloody and fierce.

Fortunately, the king Su Yulou made up his mind early to shrink the defense line and evacuate the people.

Although the battle was fierce, the defense line was still stable.

However, Dawu and Xihuang have already drawn dozens of martial arts masters and tens of thousands of second-round masters to participate in the front-line fighting.

This is most of the mid-to-high-end forces they can mobilize at will. The rest are either inconvenient to mobilize or simply cannot be mobilized.

It is very important to fight against the strange creatures in Beimo, but no one will go all out at this time to affect the stability of their own forces.

Moreover, the harassment of the monsters in Donghai and Nanye is also increasing. It is not as terrifying as the strange creatures in Beimo, but it involves a lot of energy from the two countries.

At the same time, as the Eternal Ice Peak collapsed, in addition to the large-scale invasion of monsters from the north and south, more monsters appeared randomly in Dawu, and their strength was generally half a level stronger.

The wild villages and mountain strongholds throughout Dawu all sensed the danger and gathered spontaneously to form larger towns and small cities to improve their ability to resist danger.

The expansion speed of Xiongjia Village, Taiping Village, Bihai City, and Langtao Village, which Gu Ke paid attention to on a daily basis, accelerated.

Xiongjia Village is similar to Liangshan Village. It is located in the mountains, which limits the population gathering and expansion speed.

Gu Ke also reminded them to split up and build a city outside the mountain.

However, the West Wild Country is relatively stable, and Xiongjia Village does not have Wu Zong to suppress it, so the movement is naturally much smaller.

Fortunately, Father Xiong has mastered the essence of Gou Dao, and together with his "old enemy" Village Chief Niu, he has come up with the method of "using business instead of city".

A large number of people from Xiongjia Village used caravans as a cover to enter villages and towns everywhere to lay eggs in the shell.

Anyway, Xiongjia Village may lack other things, but it does not lack villagers who are strong and loyal to Shennong.

The villagers of Xiongjia Village, who started with two or three specialties, are too full of martial virtues and can be called "invincible" in ordinary villages and towns.

As long as they don't enter the county town to cause trouble, they will gather ordinary people and refugees in the name of caravans, and no one can control them at all.

The first town after Xiongjia Village came out of the mountains was completely annexed by Xiongjia Village - this was once the dream place of young Xiaoman, because there were many delicious foods.

This town was renamed Xiongjia Town. Most of the original Xiongjia villagers migrated here, together with the original town population of more than 10,000, and the caravans of Xiongjia Village kept coming and going.

In name, it is still a town, but in fact it is close to the size of a small city.

The county town hundreds of miles away did not pay attention to this small town on the edge of the mountain.

According to the intelligence of the sects and wealthy families, this small town is considered a remote place in the poor and bad water of the Western Wilderness, and there is basically no oil and water to be squeezed.

Most of the sects and wealthy families who want to develop also go to the southeast, where there are more flat lands, and it is much more convenient to live, farm, and transport.

After the establishment of Xiongjia Town, Father Xiong followed Gu Ke's wishes, brought the earliest god tablet, and built a formal Shennong Temple.

This Shennong god tablet, which has been worshipped for the longest time, is also the foundation of the prepared cave.

Its level of nourishment is not as good as that of Taiping Village. It would be very good if it can achieve it within ten years.

However, the situation in Xihuang Country is still stable. Although Xiongjia Village has moved to Xiongjia Town, no major forces covet it. It is safer to go slowly.

As the biggest "backer" of Xiongjia Town, Xiaoman has also started a new stage of cultivation and changed his major martial arts.

Last year, Gu Ke spent a thousand Tianfu Tongbao, Blood God Secret Code + Yunshen Art + Jiu Die Lang + Da Meng Mirage Dragon Sutra + Bai Rou Gong, and integrated a super martial arts - Jiu Rou Jiang Long Yao Shu.

Just like the Water and Fire Dream Heart Sutra to Bai Suqing, after the martial arts of Jiurou Jianglong Yaoshu was successfully integrated, it was intuitive that it belonged to Xiaoman.

However, Xiaoman is not the "hardworking elementary school bully" Xiao Ping'er, so Gu Ke simply took the time to understand and thoroughly understand its content before letting her practice.

As the Wuxiang Zhenjing entered the 700th level, the speed of thinking was further improved, and with the help of the literary thoughts, he was very interested in studying the theoretical basis of martial arts.

Gu Ke finally understood the "joy of doing questions" that those math, physics and chemistry problem solvers in his previous life said.

Because he is now also a "martial arts problem solver" of Dawu.

To understand the principles of martial arts practice, you just need to remember various martial arts "formulas".

To analyze and comprehend martial arts, you need to flexibly apply formulas, treat each martial art as a big question, split it up bit by bit, and thoroughly understand it.

The few martial arts given by the system are the best "formula collection".

Use them to reversely disassemble the various martial arts given by the eldest lady and Sister Bai, and you can understand Dawu's "question-solving ideas".

The first step is to look at the questions.

Then try to correct the omissions in these great martial arts, starting from the simplest low-grade, and gradually to the middle-grade and high-grade.

Look at the questions and correct the mistakes, this is the second step.

After the first two steps, the foundation of martial arts test-takers is laid.

Let's look at the several high-grade and super-grade martial arts given by the system, as well as the finished products that are integrated, which are still complicated and mysterious.

But he can grasp the key points and sort out the principles of practice, design ideas, gains and losses contained in them bit by bit.

At this point, he is no longer a simple test-taker, but thinks about the questions from the perspective of a "test-setter".

Now Gu Ke is telling Mei Lan Zhu Ju that he is a martial arts genius again, and it is no joke.

At least in terms of martial arts theory, he is enough to sit and discuss with the eldest lady and Sister Bai, and he is more than enough to be Mei Lan Zhu Ju's teacher.

Of course, the most fundamental reason for his rapid progress is the martial arts that the system gave him.

Middle school students who have studied mathematics, physics and chemistry all know that the correct formulas and theorems are laying the foundation for the subject.

With them, we are standing on the shoulders of giants, not starting from scratch.

If it were not for the correct "formula" contained in the martial arts system, it would take at least ten or even decades for him to discover and summarize it by himself.

Although he has a lot of time, he doesn't want to waste too much on repetitive work.

Xiaoman, who has been idle for almost two years, finally relived the feeling when he first learned martial arts.

The difference between middle-upper-grade martial arts and super-grade martial arts is similar to elementary school mathematics and higher mathematics, and the difficulty is not on the same order of magnitude.

Fortunately, Gu Ke first mastered the Nine Soft Dragon Subduing Technique, disassembled it, and advanced it step by step from the shallow to the deep.

As for the teaching speed, he was not impatient, and one hour a day was enough.

Xiaoman was a little impatient, so he, as a teacher, naturally had to neutralize it.

Anyway, the expectations for the little girl are not high. She can be promoted to Martial Lord within three to five years and become Martial Saint within twenty to thirty years.

…

In the blink of an eye, two years passed quickly.

In March of the 517th year of Dawu, it rained continuously in Yulong Cave Mansion.

Spring pigeons sang in wild trees, and drizzle fell into the pond. Flowers on the pond fell slightly, and the grass by the stream grew taller.

Pigs, cattle, sheep and horses hid in the shacks, enjoying the warm and dry nests on rainy days.

Ducks and geese were energetic. Some took a leisurely walk in the rain and pecked at vegetable and grass seeds in the pasture.

Others went down to the river, pond and lake in groups, swimming happily, and catching some small fish and shrimps to supplement their nutrition.

Gu Ke sat in the pavilion near the study room on the waist of Yulong Peak, writing and drawing with an unknown pen.

Only Saranzhu was there.

She was holding a string of chicken wings and roasting them on the small flame of the small oven.

With the other hand, he held a small brush, and used the brushing technique to dip it into the sauce and brush it on the chicken wings.

The fat chicken wings exuded fragrance little by little under the small flame.

Suddenly, a long whistle came from the top of the peak. The two stopped what they were doing and walked outside the pavilion to look.

A ball of white blood like cotton candy expanded rapidly on the top of the peak, covering an area of ​​more than 100 feet.

Soon its color became more solid, from cotton candy to the texture of goat milk, then semi-solid yogurt, and then cheese.

At the same time, the feeling it gave people was constantly changing.

First, it was a cloud like cotton candy, then it flowed like goat milk, then it shook and trembled like semi-solid yogurt, and then it was both soft and hard like cheese.

Finally, the blood gathered into a round, chubby, soft and wrinkle-free bun.

Well, it looks very solid and filling at first glance. Gu Ke made such a comment in his heart.

"Hahahaha, I'm already invincible~~~" The voice of a certain girl's middle school dialogue echoed in the Jade Dragon Cave.

With this life, the bloody big bun jumped down from the top of the peak, and bounced several times between the peaks.

Finally, when it fell to the mountainside, it suddenly shrank back, revealing Xiaoman with a smug face: "From today on, I, Xiong Xiaoman, am also an eighth-turn martial master, hahahaha!"

Gu Ke smiled and nodded, without any intention of denying the fact.

Xiaoman hugged him happily for a long time, and then looked down at her "enemy" Saranzhu... the roasted chicken wings in her hand: "Hehe, you only think of roasting chicken wings to please me now? It's too late, Ah Zhu."

Salanzhu made a face at her: "What, do you still want to beat me?"

Xiaoman shook her head: "One skewer is not enough, at least add ten more skewers, and I will be magnanimous and spare you with mercy."

A moment later, she took the chicken wings that Saranzhu offered with both hands, eating with oil dripping from her mouth, and asked vaguely: "Where's my little sister, hasn't she come out yet?"

Gu Ke looked at a lakeside cottage at the foot of the mountain: "We have to wait a while, we should be able to catch up with dinner."

Xiaoman: "Then let's have an extra meal to celebrate tonight?"

Gu Ke rubbed her chubby face lovingly: "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

Xiaoman: "Let's barbecue, I haven't eaten it for a few days."

"Okay." Gu Ke nodded in agreement.

As soon as they said it, they started to take out the ingredients and prepare.

Barbecue is actually Xiaoman's daily routine in the valley.

Because it is very convenient to carry a small oven for a simple barbecue, or to use the long and round ovens distributed everywhere to make a barbecue dinner.

The original barbecue that was almost all meat is no longer popular, and more and more other ingredients have replaced the status of meat.

First, cut a few purple-black eggplants up to two feet long, put in chopped garlic, chili, and minced meat, and slowly bake them on a low fire until they soften.

The white eggplant meat and garlic gradually turn red with the chili and the oily gloss of the minced meat.

The soft eggplant meat is soaked in the aroma of garlic and meat, and the spicy taste is the finishing touch.

It's a pity that only medium-spicy green peppers are cultivated in the valley, and the non-spicy green and red peppers need to be further improved.

Otherwise, adding them together will make the color more beautiful and the taste better.

The three giants of barbecue vegetables, leeks, lotus root slices, and potatoes are indispensable.

As the "underdeveloped relative" of leeks, chives can also be roasted. Compared with the chewy and fragrant leeks, they are soft, smooth, tender and have a unique flavor.

The potato family also has a new member - round and small potatoes, which were a must-have for making cumin potatoes in barbecue in the previous life.

Like medium-spicy peppers, it is also a new variety that emerged through degeneration after Gu Ke transplanted it from Xiantian to ordinary land.

And the purple-skinned potatoes, the ancestors of its fairy fields, are of good quality. The size of a single potato is larger than two adult fists. A warrior can eat one potato a day to fill his stomach.

Vegetables include beans (cowpeas), green beans, lentils, bitter melons, cucumbers, cauliflower, mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, yam, etc.

It is a pity that there are no corn and sweet potatoes.

These two ingredients will taste good if they are grilled with original flavor. They have different nutrients, high yields, and are easy to process and preserve. They are very suitable for ancient farmers to grow.

But Dawu is not the previous life after all.

These two crops may not have evolved, or their popularity is too low. Gu Ke did not find out when he was setting up stalls in major cities.

There is also no news about tomatoes.

This thing is both a vegetable and a fruit, but Gu Ke would rather use it as a condiment.

The sour and fruity aroma of tomatoes is very unique, which can effectively reduce the greasy taste of high-oil foods. If you replace them with other things, the color, aroma and taste will be a little worse.

Think about the difference between fried eggs with pickled cucumbers and French fries with pickled pepper sauce and fried eggs with tomatoes and French fries with ketchup.

Of course, these vegetables are ordinary goods. The real good things never mind spending more time, such as... stinky tofu.

Gu Ke had eaten it when he was a child in his previous life, and he liked it very much, so he would never forget it.

Of course, it is really stinky. Once the street stall fries stinky tofu, it can stink for hundreds of meters.

When I got older, only the food street and special stores made this, but the stalls could not be opened.

After all, diners left after eating a lot, but the residents around couldn't stand the smell all day long.

Gu Ke only remembered that he seemed to want tofu to mold, and then... he made fermented tofu.

It was not until later that he got the method of making fermented tofu from a chef that he roughly understood the trick.

Fermented tofu is also called fermented bean curd, which is divided into three categories: green square, red square, and white square.

Green square refers to stinky tofu.

Large pieces, red and spicy, etc. belong to red square.

Sweet and spicy, five-spice, etc. belong to white bean curd.

They are originally a large category of things. It is not surprising that he went astray from the green bean curd and made the white bean curd.

White bean curd (i.e. white fermented bean curd) has a smooth and soft texture, a slightly yellowish and slightly transparent color, and a very fresh taste.

It tastes delicious when eaten with porridge, steamed buns, and dumplings.

Some people also use it as a dipping sauce when eating mutton soup. After stirring, the milky white and rich in the bowl is slightly thick, which is fresh with mutton.

After the failure of making stinky tofu, Gu Ke was not discouraged. He simply continued to work hard, and then... made the red bean curd (red fermented bean curd).

Compared with the white bean curd, the red bean curd is wrapped with a layer of red chili powder, and the spicy and fresh taste is mixed, which is more suitable for the three-piece breakfast set of porridge, steamed buns, and dumplings.

Cooking is like this. Occasional mistakes are not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, they may create another good ingredient.
